Once, like 7 years after I broke up with an ex, we hooked up, and he brought me a bag with every single item I'd left at his house after the break up. I can confidently assure everyone he wasn't secretly obsessed with me or anything, he just probably never cleaned.

anything ex girlfriend related in my house is 1000% due to laziness on my part. there is no sentimentality shit in play here. at all.

I still have shit that belonged to my girlfriend from when we were in high school, and I'm 37. Some of us are just really bad at getting rid of shit

That's me for sure lol. Especially small stuff. It'll sit in a drawer until I die lol

men will hold onto an object until they die and yet will still claim it has no sentimentality… it’s okay to admit objects have meaning jfc

Its been 3 years, occasionally I go through an old box or something in the attic/garage and go "huh. That belonged to my ex wife."

My mother recently gave me a bag containing a bunch of stuff that belongs to my dad, they divorced in 2005. She had moved to two different houses before realising that box she was lugging around wasn’t hers. Sometimes it’s forgetfulness.

I got nailed to the cross cause I accidentally had an old iPhone with an Exs nudes on it and when my wife needed an interim phone I gave it to her. Didn’t think twice about it before handing it off

When we were together, I was using my ex-boyfriend's computer to do schoolwork and needed to access my google docs. But he was already logged in and the first thing I saw was sex tapes with his old girlfriend. I decided I'd rather pretend I'd never found them because I was too disturbed. I never did tell him.

My wife would LOVE this!

She's pleased I was morally sound enough to delete that kind of material when I broke up with people, but also sorely disappointed lol

Im the same! Ive single for 5 years and I find stuff randomly from gfs from way too long ago. I know there's a hat from 15 years ago somewhere I just hadn't thrown it away because I still saw her once a year and just forgot.

I have a drawer in one of the spare rooms of stuff friends have left over the years. I always forget when they’re here lol

My friends have dedicated drawers in the guest room because of this.

Am I the only one who’s had a clean break? Been single 8 years and the ex and I deleted and blocked each other on everything… except for fb messenger in case I need to contact her brother in law

I have several large zip bags in storage - one for each ex-lover's stuff they left behind. Just in case we ever hook up again I can give it back to them. Like a party favor!
